Claims (13)
1-5. (canceled)
6. A quick detachable mount removably attachable to a fixture, the mount comprising:
a body;
a first jaw attached to the body;
a second jaw pivotally attached to the body between an engaged position and a disengaged position;
a wedge traversable between an in position and an out position, the wedge in sliding contact and operative to lock the second jaw in the engaged position when the wedge is traversed to the in position;
a depressible member wherein the wedge and the second jaw are disposed on a first side of the body and the depressible member is disposed on a second opposed side of the body, the depressible member being biased with a first spring toward a non-depressed state and operative to traverse the wedge from the in-position to the out-position when the depressible member is depressed from the non-depressed state to a depressed state.
7. The mount of claim 6 further comprising a shaft extending through the body and attached to the wedge and the depressible member for traversing the wedge from the in-position to the out-position when the depressible member is depressed from the non-depressed state to a depressed state.
8. The mount of claim 6 wherein the depressible member is a button.
9. The mount of claim 6 wherein the second jaw is biased to the disengaged position.
10. The mount of claim 6 wherein the second jaw is biased toward the disengaged position with a second spring.
11. The mount of claim 10 wherein the second spring is a torsion spring which has first and second legs, the first leg presses against the second jaw and the second leg presses against the body to bias the second jaw to the disengaged position.
12. The mount of claim 6 wherein the wedge is biased toward the in position with the first spring.
13. The mount of claim 6 wherein:
the depressible member is disposed on a first surface of the body between the first and second jaws;
a second surface of the body opposite the first surface is configured so that the user may depress the button by gripping the button and the second surface to open the second jaw.
14. A method for attaching and removing a quick detachable mount to a fixture, the method comprising the steps of:
gripping opposed first and second sides of a body of the mount with a thumb and at least one finger of a hand;
depressing a depressible member disposed at the second side of the body to a depressed state wherein the depressible member is biased to a non depressed state with a first spring;
upon depression of the depressible member, traversing a wedge from an in position to an out position and allowing a second jaw to be traversed from an engaged position to a disengaged position;
disposing a first jaw and the second jaw over the fixture;
releasing the depressible member so that the depressible member is traversed to the non-depressed state;
upon release of the depressible member, traversing the wedge from the out position to the in position and traversing the second jaw to the engaged position.
15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the step of biasing the second jaw to the disengaged position.
16. The method of claim 15 wherein the second jaw is biased to the disengaged position with a second spring.
